One Day on Earth (11.11.11)

This video shot on 11.11.11 as part of the global One Day on Earth project traces the journey of Anarkali from a homemaker to the first ever woman ward member elected from her village in Uttar Pradesh. Like Anarkali, many women have become politically empowered as a result of UNDP-IKEA Foundation partnership that has reached out to 50,000 women across 500 villages in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
